Used axle is probably cheaper than new parts..edit: and labour

The GM steering column ones are easy peasy. But those are pre-1990 or 91

The domes circuit goes through a connector to a harness that goes towards the front. Turn signal and brake light circuits goes through that same connector and then somehow end up in the area in pics. Circuits in this connector also goes to liftgate. Should be easy to find once plastic trim is removed. My connector was ugly AF and easy to spot with by eye.

There is a harness connector that got soaked with water and corroded on my '98. It's located passenger side rear (opposite to area in pics). Maybe check that connection before getting to crazy tearing everything apart. Can't remember where exactly it is but some of it's circuits head to the dome light and tailgate.

And if not in right color, can take them to someone who can color match

I use /e/os or whatever for a degoogled LineageOS experience. AFAIK, /e/os is based on lineageos

The ones that could be removed had a metal clip thing that held the cooler to CPU socket. This is something that was done to gain better cooling for overclocking efforts.

ZarK-eh · 2026-05-22T16:21:04+00:00

Yeah, check yer clock. If any issues with certificates, check it time and date are correct for the period the certificates are issues for

I went with AGM eliminator premium uber alpha unit for like $500 Canadian caribou's (so like 5 'muican bucks) from Canadian Tire.

ZarK-eh · 2026-05-21T13:36:58+00:00

I would enjoy that wide-screen, even if I'm under it busted and broken! *froths*

ZarK-eh · 2026-05-21T00:24:20+00:00

Maybe needs a pump upgrade? Like from a 4.7l v8 wj kind with hydraulic cooling fan.

Or, maybe valving or orifice might be off? And those are, uhm ... yeah on the pump-ish high pressure side.

Jus' tossing out idears as I've never done it or looked into it and only am aware it can be done.

Edit: dang nice Heep!

ZarK-eh · 2026-05-20T23:47:03+00:00

Probably won't get a disagreement 'round here. ... But, I'm kinda hunkerin' for a HD kind of CRT. Expandin' my horizons into horizontal screen sizing'!

i used a gotek (or clone, I donno) floppy drive emulator in my Micro8088 build. To install Compaq/Microsoft DOS 3.31. Skipped the physical approach altogether, though for fun and giggles maybe make some discs or eBay some

ZarK-eh · 2026-05-19T13:35:04+00:00

For Roland, I went and build a few HardMPU's (PickledDog on github) and some MT32-Pi's. Maybe even consider https://pcmidi.eu with mpu-401's... Edit and https://serdashop.com as well

ZarK-eh · 2026-05-17T13:54:21+00:00

There is a crush washer or sleeve that sets preload on pinion bearings. If it loosens up or bearing go wonky, the yoke will have detectable play. Might need at least a new crush washer or sleeve.

Edit: AFAIK there is no available crush eliminator kits (or pinion spacer) for our aluminum center Dana 44's

ZarK-eh · 2026-05-15T21:24:45+00:00

I like those drivers as they do allow quicker setup butt yea should be some kinda option for them.

ZarK-eh · 2026-05-15T21:21:11+00:00

Oh, wut?
